35. vaMdittusUtra - Vandittu Sutra 35. Introduction. This is the longest principal aphorism of both night (devasika) and day (rai) Pratikramana. A householder is supposed to observe five ethical codes of conduct (Achara) and twelve householder vows (bara vrata). This aphorism is to ask forgiveness if any wrong doings have occurred while observing these vows. As is the custom, recitation of this sutra begins by first paying homage to the five supreme beings, and is followed by asking for forgiveness for any wrong doing committed while following the house holder's vows (shravaka vratta), which a Jain layperson will take in preparation for the life of a sadhu. 35. vaMdittusUtra vaMdittu savva-siddhe, dhammAyarie a savva-sAhU a. icchAmi paDikkamiuM, sAvaga-dhammAiArassa. jo me vayAiyAro, nANe taha daMsaNe caritte a. suhumo va bAyaro vA, taM niMde taM ca garihAmi... davihe pariggahammi, sAvajje bahavihe a AraMbhe. kArAvaNe a karaNe, paDikkame desi savvaM.... jaM baddhamidiehiM, cauhiM kasAehiM appasatthehiM. rAgeNa va doseNa va, taM niMde taM ca garihAmi. ......................4.

35. Sutra Meaning: Bowing to the Omniscient pathfinders (tirthankaras) and liberated souls (siddhas), the leaders of the monastic congregation (dharmacharya), and all the monks (sadhus), I wish to confess for all the wrong doings I may have committed while following layman's vows. 1 I wish to confess, scorn and reproach for whatever slight or major wrong-doing I may have committed, in respect to ethical behavior related to right knowledge (inana), right faith (darshana), right conduct (charitra) and the other two, austerity (tapa) and energy (virya). 2 I want to repent for the wrong-doing I may have committed in regard to acquiring two types of possessiveness, external (wealth, live stock, land etc) and internal (passions, etc.) as well as any day-to-day harmful activities, either done by me or my approval of such activities done by others. . . .. .... 3 ...4 I scorn and reproach all the wrong doing I may have committed as a result of activities by my sense organs (indriya), or by the four kinds of passions (kashaya), and by attachment and aversion.

Page #10
I want to criticize and reprehend myself in the presence of the holy preceptor (guru), for any wrongdoing I may have committed by serving worthy or unworthy monks and nuns, out of attachment towards them or with feelings of aversion towards them... 31 I want to criticize and reprehend myself in the presence of the holy preceptor, if I have failed to give alms to the monks who faithfully observe vows of austerity and self-restraint. I do not want to commit any one of the following five wrongdoing during the vow of auspicious voluntary death (sanlekhana) to wish for material happiness in this life or in the next life; to desire to live longer if I gain name and fame by austerity; to desire to die if sorrows befalls me; or to entertain intense sensual desires... ........... 33 I want to repent by confessing any wrongdoing I may have committed with respect to any of the vows and restraints through harmful physical, vocal or mental activities. 34. I criticize myself for any wrongdoing I may have committed with respect to: two types of worships {to God and to spiritual teacher(vandankarya)};12 vows (vratkarya); two types of teachings to read the scriptures, to understand them and to put into practice (shikshakarma)}; three kinds of prides (garava) (of taste, wealth and physical health); four types of instincts (sangna) (of food, fear, sex and hoarding), four types of passions (kashaya); three types of evil activities (danda) (mental, verbal and physical); three-fold self-control (gupti); and five-fold vigilance (samiti). ................ 35 A person with right faith acquires only minor karmic bond even though they may commit sins because they do not act with malice or cruelty. When he confesses and repents as prescribed by a spiritual preceptor he gets rid of them swiftly, the same way a well trained physician cures sickness... ................. 36, 37 Just as a well-trained physician removes the poison spread in a body and renders it poison-free with help of right spells, a layperson that has confessed and repented his sins sincerely in front of a spiritual preceptor, is able to swiftly destroy the bonds of all eight karmas formed due to hatred and attachment. He lightens his burden of sins just as a person feels lightened when he unloads the heavy burden he happens to carry....... ............. 38,39,40 A layperson that has accumulated much karmic dust due to sinful activities will be able to destroy all the sinful sorrows by performing spiritual retreat involving penance. (Pratikramana). 41 I want to criticize myself and repent in front of a spiritual preceptor for any wrongdoing I may have committed from not contemplating on any lapses related to principal vows {(mula guna) (five minor vows and three merit vows)} and auxiliary vows {(uttara guna) (Disciplinary vow)} at the time of performing penitential retreat. (pratikramana)............. 42 I am ready to follow the layman's vows laid down by Omniscients, and I bow to the 24 Tirthankars (pathfinders) while performing penitential retreat for any sins committed through the activities of mind, speech and body........ ........... 43 I, who live here, adore all those images of Jinas present in the upper world, lower world and the middle world, and pay my respect to all the monks, who have freed themselves from the mental, verbal and bodily sins, residing in five Bharata, five Airavata and five Mahavideha continents (kshetras). .... 44, 45 I wish to spend all my days contemplating on the Scriptures spoken by the 24 Tirthankars, which destroy all the sins committed from eternity and bring an end to the multitude of rebirths. 46 The Lord Arihanta, Lord Siddhas, respected monks and Scriptures are auspicious to me. O Enlightened one, bestow equanimity (calmness) and right faith on me. 47 One should perform penitential retreat for any wrong doing one may commit in respect to the following four reasons: committing forbidden activities listed in the scriptures, failing to do the pious activities, having doubt in the scriptures, and speaking against the scriptures. 48 I forgive all living beings. I seek pardon from all living beings. I am friendly towards all living beings. I seek enmity (hatred) with none. .........49 10
